Kaala Review: Jitin Gulati Steals The Show In This Bejoy Nambiar's Series Filled With Twists And Turns

Kaala Review: When the trailer of Kaala was released a couple of weeks ago, it grabbed everyone's attention and with Bejoy Nambiar's name attached to it, the audience had high expectations from the series. It stars Avinash Tiwary, Jitin Gulati, Taher Shabbir, Rohan Mehra, Elisha Mayor, and Nivetha Pethuraj in the lead roles. Kaala has started streaming today on Disney+Hotstar, so is the series worth your time? Find out in our review below...

Kaala revolves around Rithwik (Avinash) who is an IB officer and is working on a reverse hawala case in which the main suspect is the business tycoon Naman (Taher Shabbir). While the trailer showcased that it's a cat-and-mouse game between Rithwik and Naman, let us tell you that the series is much more than that and it is filled with a lot of twists and turns.

The series is created and directed by Bejoy Nambiar who is known for directing films like Shaitan, Wazir, David, and others. With Madhuri Dixit starrer The Fame Game, he has also left a mark on OTT. With Kaala, he gets into a genre that he is known for; the series is dark, has some twists and turns, and it's thrilling.

While Kaala keeps us engaged and on the edge of our seats for most of the part, there are a few episodes whose runtime is quite long, and in those episodes the pace of the show becomes slow. That's one of the negative points of the series. There are many twists and turns in the show, but you will predict one of them, however, it is Bejoy's narration that saves the game here.

Talking about performances, it is Jitin Gulati who steals the show. He is exceptional in the series, and once you finish watching Kaala, you will become his fan. Avinash Tiwary is very good in his part, and he once again proves his versatility. Rohan Vinod Mehra is a surprise here; his performance leaves a strong mark. Taher Shabbir has less screen time compared to other male leads, but he is good in his role.

The female leads, Elisha Mayor and Nivetha Pethuraj, are very good in their respective roles. Especially Nivetha, she is going to surprise you.

In Bejoy Nambiar's movies, the background score plays a very pivotal role, and here also the background music is fantastic. The music surely elevates a scene, especially the chase sequences.

Overall, Kaala is a very well-made thriller series with twists and turns, and some amazing performances. So, you can surely watch it!
